Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases, Mechanics of Art Deco Pink Gold
Friends, I think many of us got captured by the Vintage 1945 with Sapphire dial! We already had a detailed look on the Steel version, now I thought we should have a closer look on the Pink Gold version. The Pink gold adds some more color to the watch. But...
I still prefer the steel. BUT the rose gold is a top cool version, too.
I surprised myself to love it a lot, which is, indeed, a big surprise for me. Best, Nicolas
You are coming around, my friend! :)
You see, there is room for colored metal in our collections as well! :) Honestly, I am a bit surprised here. Was sure I would prefer the Steel, but after looking at the Gold version in real.... Best Blomman
Would you really choose this one in RG over the SS?
Let's say it another way... If SS didn't exist, I would think about getting this one in RG. Best, Nicolas
That would be my initial thought as well....
But, not before I have completed my "three step" plan in the modern GP field.... Best Blomman
The SS version without any doubt
The concept of see-through dial and the contemporary style work much better with a neutral colour imho. Thanks for the post Blomman. Fx
The RG version looks nicer IMHO
The dial seems more alive, contrast more obvious and the moonphase is definitely nicer. Overall a warmer and more "romantic" look. The steel version looks more technical and also very nice of course. The RG version pips it in my view Great pics and report...
Romantic! Thank you, that was the word....
I was looking for! :) Agree, Robin! But the question is if romantic take over..... OK, so far 2 - 1 for the Steel... Thank you, my friend Best Blomman
RG - The moon phase really pulled me in.
Also, I think the contrast of the gold hands and numerals give more depth overall. Steel in the photo is cool, but perhaps too cool for me.
I hope so...but my boss says no more watches for next 2 years :(...
she did also said that in 2012 when I got my BP...then 2013 when I got the GP :) I hope you get your dream watch(es) in 2015 too, Blomman. Rgds Raymond
For me still SS.. But this RG one is a quite tempting offer.. And.,..
.. the RG enhances the 3D effect and the moon indication; however, it increases the " Bling" quite a bit ! Wearing such a XXL- block of gold, may not be everyone's choice.. - Fascinating, nevertheless.. Best & HAGWE ! hs
True, not everybody's choice.....
Full gold - not everybody can pull that off! ;) All the best for the weekend, my friend! Blomman
great pieces both but
Dear Blomman, SS for me. It feels as if the bling factor for the rose gold would eventually wear away. That watch model deserves to be worn often just bcoz it's so cool.
tried on a 1945 chronograph at an AD the other day...
And totally fell in love with the shape of the case. It grasped my wrist as if it was tailor made for me, and can't wait to try the sapphire dial big date version! SS for me; although the rose gold version is more colorful and animated. Perhaps I would ha...
The Chrono is top. I own the small one from the early 2000's.
The size is right, for me, but I wouldn't mind adding the " Sapphire " in stainless steel. That Watch is pure Madness. A strong offer, and one of the lights from this year to end. Best, Nicolas
cannot agree more with you Nico...
... what was the last time you saw a truly innovative design in such a simple execution? GP 1945 sapphire dial is certainly the way to go, kudos to the creative geniuses behind it...
I concur
Though personally I'd still go for the 1945 GP, this one is equally, if not more, impressive...
They are not playing in the same league.
This round one is a minute repeater. But aesthetically speaking, both are terrific. Best, Nicolas
Welcome here, Iadxb!
Happy to hear you discovered the Vintage 1945! :) The fit on wrist is just like a glove. Love how the case follows your wrist! Yes, the Sapphire dial is just amazing. Please let us know once you have tried it on your wrist! Best Blomman
